I have no idea what you are talking about here, and Im sure the guy was just trying to get you to pre order, its his job dude.

I hope you dont lose your job, cause you BS meter seems way off.

Granted it's not even noon yet (eastern time), the situation looks bleak as far as getting the codes today. To me, it didn't matter that much as the demo wasn't available til next week anyway. It wouldn't have done much good to have a code just marinating for a week. Still, all of the conflicting information is a little discouraging. I think Phil foreshadowed this upcoming confusion:

So no chance of us getting the 5 minute demo? That sucks.

So no codes today? Dang it. This was Code Day.

But, he stated he had to give it up this year due to the fact the game is good. I asked - How is the graphics He stated - Better than 09 and the player models look better and not robotic movement like 09. I asked - How about the animation He stated - They used a new animation engine which used the motion capture of 11 on 11 actual gameplay. Meaning, they used 11 guys to motion capture. He also talked about the QB throwing while being hit and the fumble feature.

He's likely lying.

I'm mad the demo comes out so late ... Waiting on Madden and not buying NCAA is pretty painful .

So still no word on the release of the codes... and some gamestops are saying they get the codes on July 23... and others are saying July 29... and EA is saying the codes will be emailed or instore on July 15 ...

Why is this no surprise?

So I just called customer care for GameStop and it's funny how little info they know. I asked them about the whole code issue and they said "they should be sent out really soon" and I asked for a date they said they don't know. I asked them when the demo releases and again they said they didn't know. I'm guessing anyone getting a code for the demo today is highly unlikely.
